The Magnificent Seven follows the 1996 U.S Women's Olympic Gymnastics team - Amanda Borden, Amy Chow, Dominique Dawes, Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, Jaycie Phelps, and Kerri Strug - on their quest to win team gold at the 1996 Atlanta games, imagining the gymnasts' inner lives as they work to get their faces on the Wheaties box, all leading up to a star-making (and ankle-busting) vault heard 'round the world.
